With nominations for Juno Awards, Western Canadian Music Awards, and Canadian Folk Music Awards – Del Barber has shaped the folk music canon in Canada with five critically acclaimed studio albums under his belt, as well as a myriad of fans. His new album Easy Keeper released on acronym records has received critical acclaim from Rolling Stone Magazine and No Depression, and a nomination for a 2020 Juno award. Del will be accompanied by back up singers Ivan Burke on drums, Ryan Funk on bass and pedal steel, and Austin Parachoniak on guitar and mandolin.
Here’s a concert video of Del singing Big Smoke.
Tom Phillips has got it covered with a hundred songs that undress truths so simple they’re frightening. Ever cheated on a lover, driven home drunk, been bucked off a horse, or been the last person in the bar when the lights came up? If you’ve ever been stranded on the highway, woken up in the wrong bed, walked home barefoot in a ball gown in the morning rain, or wished you could have a re-do on any of these choices, Phillips has a song for you.
